Disco Elysium - Harry's Panic Attacks 

relateable🙂

yeah! it technically worked, and harry did manage to calm down after that, if he'd allowed it to continue it probably would've only gotten worse; probably not the first time its happened.

his voice is so comforting and i am mentally ill

@@capyclara said by any Disco Elysium enjoyer. I want Kim as a therapist, truly.

harry is literally just robert kurvitz' self insert (the only difference is he's not a cop lol)

i think its meant to be a little less literal than that; either hes tightening it on himself or it just feels like its choking him because of the panic attack

it can literally kill you right in the beginning if you fail to grab it from ceiling fan, if you have 1 endurance

Doing what it tells you also has one of the best pay-offs.

​@@twainapple363 But that's the fan killing you not the necktie.

@@monsesh1316no its the necktie. It even has the motive

It's okay, you can do it sir. Over.

The most perfect ugly me

Superstar me!!!!!!!!!!!!

not quite the same but yes

That is more of an emotional breakdown.

Put him into the spirits and use him as a bomb later

i definitely wouldn't tell anyone having a panic attack to calm down. ideally you want to make sure they know that you are there for them, get them to focus on regulating their breathing so that they aren't hyperventilating. what kim was doing is actually a pretty good demonstration of how to walk someone through one (but maybe don't say "what's happening", lol)

First off, it's best to ask the person what help they want or need. Don't make assumptions, you're here to help THEM get control again, you're not here to heal them yourself. It helps to recognize that if the attack is already happening then they're already having trouble calming themselves down actively. It's like a trigger in your nervous system gets pulled gets pulled and a floodgate opens, limbic system takes the wheel, the logical part of your brain takes a backseat. Too late to stop it, you just have to ride it out. But there's things you can do to shorten the ride, in my experience. Getting them away from whatever situation triggered the attack in the first place helps immensely. Someplace calm, with a minimum of sensory input. Then you can encourage them to breathe as deeply and slowly as they can. Demonstrate, breathe with them, guide them through it. They're going to be feeling an intense discomfort in their chest and may be hyperventilating, but getting a regular breathing rhythm reestablished will go a long way towards helping them out. For me, my extremities go numb or tingly when it happens so I try to do things like ball my feet up in my shoes or stretch my arms and roll my wrists to ground myself a little better. Be patient and don't judge, most importantly.

mmhm, if anything jules is trying to protect harry from the others who are eavesdropping

@@LiterallySatanOfficial yeah that too true. But a lot of those other cops were victim of way more abuse from harry a couple of days before

@@magusperde365 oh for sure lmfao harry's sad cop schtick is horrific and incredibly hard to deal with

Yes! I wrote up a little guide on how to get it to "activate" on the wiki page for the tie of you're curious

My God bratushka how could you miss the neck tie????

@@centennialthoughts1287 if you choose a type other than sensitive you wont get tie lol

@@shrekisurdad5969 You can make a custom character. 5-6 inland Empire is enough for it.

My first playthrough was with the Thinker build so it didn't talk to me either. Spat my drink out in my second playthrough (Sensitive) when it suddenly started yelling at me. It really is clever how they managed to add replay value with all the subtle differences in how interactions go down depending on your build.

don't look in the mirror at the start!

yeah you have to talk to garte to "activate" it beforehand, i couldn't get it to work in a new game unless i did that
